which punches lack power? when are you feeling you lack power? how are you preforming in sparring and in matches? are you sitting down on your punches?Been doing Knuckle Push-ups, heavy bag workouts etc.

I'mma be honest playboyMaybe use the search function and look at one of the 1500 other topics with near identical titles. So we don't have to have another topic saying the exact same stuff.

What bothers me most about posts like this is that the OPs clearly don't actually train.
Basic questions like this can be answered by 90% of coaches/trainers/senseis/etc.
I get a MT dude asking about karate or TKD kicks that aren't in MT.
I get a karate dude asking about over hands, but this? This is just some super basic shit.
what do you think of cleans and snatches(take that anyway you want) for athletes?Yup this is normally the case.
In answer to OP tho:
Improve your form, don't skip leg day and do resistance band pulled hooks. Don't do resistance band punching with it across your back, that doesn't work. Instead hold a band tied round something in the opposite hand to what your punching and pull from your lat to pull your hook through the target. Punches are pull motions, not push motions.

in the USA none of the guys at my boxing gym did Olympic lifts. it was mostly heavy compound lifts and powerlifting or bodybuilding high rep stuff. Here in Shanghai a lot of the guys do Olympic lifts, and bodyweight stuff.
I personally feel that learning how to explode in he lift is very helpful to getting that nice fire into your punches IMO
of course technique first. but after learning how to clean and get that pop in the lift really unlocked what sin was teaching about hip fold and popping up the heel. I threw a couple right hands that I is he did videod because they were like Rembrandtsolympic lifts in general is a great way to build explosive power IMO. Learning proper technique will always be #1 though.

Whilst I was boxing I was also training MMA. The Oly lifts made my throws and takedowns as explosive as hell and my punching power did improve a bit but I'd say the Oly lifts do more for grappling than punching. I found stuff like med ball throws and slams worked really good for increasing power in a ballistic fashion. And the heavy bag is a ballistic training tool which shouldn't be overlooked just because it's a standard. I feel like pad work really helps build snap in your shots as well.what do you think of cleans and snatches(take that anyway you want) for athletes?
